Any application made under this subsection shall be heard after reasonable notice to the prosecuting attorney. Such notice shall be given not less than one day prior to the hearing.

If the application is made before the case has been referred to the chief judge for assignment, the conditions of release shall be determined by the district magistrate judge from whom the appeal is taken. If the application is made thereafter, the chief judge or the district judge to whom the case has been assigned shall determine the conditions of release. Any appearance bond which may be required under this subsection shall be deposited in the court where it is fixed.L. 1970, ch. 129, § 22-2804; L. 1971, ch. 115, § 1; L. 1976, ch. 163, § 8; L. 1977, ch. 112, § 6; L. 1986, ch. 115, § 57; L. 1999, ch. 57, § 29; July 1.
